Building Decommissioning

Per university direction, all buildings to be removed on campus are to be coordinated by Brent Lewis, university landscape architect and demolitions coordinator. A project will be set up by Capital Programs to account for funding and demolition contracts, and all removals will be handled through F&S. Individual units and departments are prohibited from removing buildings/structures with an assigned building number. Buildings/structures that do not have an assigned number, such as some sheds on campus, may be removed by a department in any way they see fit, without necessitating additional involvement. If buildings are removed in the course of a capital project, the demolitions coordinator only needs to be involved for tracking purposes.

BUILDING MATERIALS SALVAGE OPPORTUNITIES:

Buildings on campus that have been contracted to be demolished, and are not a part of a larger construction project, will be listed here. The University of Illinois is committed to sustainability, diverting materials from landfills, and reducing our environmental impact. As such, the university strongly encourages demolition contractors to make a good-faith effort to work with local vendors, organizations, and other entities to recycle and salvage as many useful materials from the demolition process as possible. However, it is ultimately the contractor's responsibility and discretion to determine how the demolition and salvage operations are coordinated for each project. Entities interested in building material salvage should contact the awarded contractor to see if any salvage opportunities exist. Any current salvage opportunities are listed below:

Examples of materials that could be salvaged and repurposed include, but are not limited to:
